Has anyone used the diverters with axle-backs?

The first thing I had to do was remove the factory mufflers for no other reason than just looks alone. The back end looks so much better with the mini looking gas tanks removed. I went with Loudmouth II's and got the sound and looks I wanted but I really like the diverter idea but would like to know from anyone what kind of change I can expect.

Theres been alot of talk on the diverters and warranty. The diverters looks like a quality product but I am hesitant to splice into the power seat. I think it would depend on the dealer, but if theres a problem with the power seat, GM may frown on a splice regarding a warranty issue. It would be great for it to be plug and play but I realize that's not an easy task. If I go the diverter route, I'd most likely come off the fuse box for ignition power. A little extra time and wire but I think it would be worth it in the end. This is just my 2 cents!

I'm still on the fence on warranty vs. tune. I would love to have mine dyno tuned if nothing more than disable the AFM which to me does get annoying at times when the exhaust has been modifed. I'll most likely throw caution to the wind and get a tune so my question is if I go with the diverters, would tuning be different with the diverters open as opposed to closed?

So these are truly an awesome option for me! Only two things stand between me and them.

1. I am not really good with the 90 bend that routes back to the factory pipes when the diverters are closed. My sense is they will cause more restriction than the factory design. Typically, you want to see sweeping bends. So, what impact will this have long term?
2. So when I get a tune, I will do it with diverters open. Now, what impact will this tune have when running closed back to factory exhaust?

Keeping in mind, I probably will run a 50/50 split half the time fully open and half time fully closed, most likely never in between.

Im sure we will get some input at some point with the Loudmouth and Diverter combo- Diverters will be obviously louder but to what extent I'm not sure yet. Good thoughts on the wiring- That's totally customer preference on the wiring setup and we have no problem with you goin' to the fuse panel with it. As far as tune goes- i can't answer which position would be a better tune or if it mattered. Common sense tells me you would tune it in a position where you expect to drive it the most.

The 90 bend is actually an open empty shell within the diverter (its not an actual pipe that turns 90) so restriction should be minimal. My guess is that 4 cats and a resonator (on L99) and both gas tank stock mufflers are gonna slow things down way more than the path the exhaust takes through the diverter which is unrestricted. I just posted earlier that you would probably want to tune where you drive it the most. (or if you were after max performance- tune it open like you are going to) The changes back to factory shouldn't have much of an effect on your tune. The reason i think this is the computer is totally happy in stock form going to full open and i would expect if you were tuned for full open- back to stock would have a similar result- Just reversed.

Thanks!

It's actually $950.00 less the camaro5 discount and free shipping which puts it at $899.00 delivered. Give or take a dollar or two based on your location.

Just pm me for your Discount Code and you can go directly to this link to purchase. http://shop.noweeds.net/category.sc;...?categoryId=13

Thanks!

Fitment question

Im planning on getting the Kooks 1 7/8" LTs with cats and keeping the stock system after the cat-back. The only other thing I would like to add is the noweeds diverter. How is the fitment going this route?
